This is ahistorical drivel. A president can’t do shit if the senate and house are deadset against letting him legislate.

There is no one person that can save us all, though. Obama worked within the system he had. Maybe Dems take the Senate in 2020, but if they don’t (and even if they do and the filibuster remains in tact) progressive legislation will be impossible to pass, no matter who wins the presidency.

I’ve heard from a Vermont activist (and someone I very much respect, who is absolutely a Bernie supporter) that Bernie could be counted on to skip out on providing any support to state-level progressive initiatives back in the day (I’m pretty sure the exact issues this friend referred to were union/labor issues,…

How do you think poor kids get good enough to get scholarships...? Also wtf are you talking about w/r/t minor leagues? Only professional level sports players get paid to play, how exactly do you think they get to the professional level?

“When low-rise jeans were trendy, I have no doubt that long-waisted women were as frustrated as I am now.”

This might be the worst take I’ve ever heard.

“there is an alternative where sports are available they are just not tied to the schools.”

It’s ...not. I know folks with epilepsy and there is no doubt it helps, hence why it was prescribed by their doctor as part of their treatment plan.

I wish we could just strike a moderate point - fats are good, I’m glad people are realizing that! They are generally filling and better than processed “low fat” shit. But the evangelizing of “oh you can eat bacon & cheese & more bacon all day long!” is definitely not helping anyone. 

Bodybuilders also use PEDs, which Kumail possibly did as well.

Does anyone else remember his opera intro to “Goodbye” at the MTV European Music Awards? No? Just me? Dude can SING.

Candiace has actually gone on Twitter calling everyone else on the show trash and fancying herself some type of “legacy” family - all while splitting the mortgage with her mom for a townhouse in Oxen Hill. Some legacy.

“Ashley throwing a butter knife at Candiace—in her own home.”

The daily custom catered salads don’t hurt either.

I really think her flighty, unaware diva-ish behavior is a front or perhaps a coping mechanism. She’s incredibly smart and clearly has experienced a lot of pain.

How about men with power and money - stop going after women half your age and then complain when people point out a power imbalance or call you a fucking creep. 

I know someone who works in fundraising for Stanford and of course this has been the talk of their department for a while. I asked her if this kind of situation happened there and she said “someone once called and asked ‘what they could get’ for a 500k donation and I said ‘a personally signed letter from the…

We (well. some of us) also sit in wet saunas for 20 minutes at a time breathing in water vapor.

Climate change activism also threatens the bottom line of a great many companies headed by these talking heads’ friends, and the idea of putting the greater good/society above profit threatens the very structure of the societies these men benefit from the most. Accountability is the absolute worst possible outcome for…
